Dear Mr. Robotham, I am in receipt of your letter of the 18th instant. We are sending you under separate cover five strips of Clevite brake material for your test. We heard from Mr. Swindall yesterday, asking us to proceed with your order for Camshaft Bearings. We have not done so as I thought it was your intention not to use step bearings. We have written to him to this effect, and I shall be pleased to hear your final decision. Yours sincerely, VANDERVELL PRODUCTS LTD. G A Vandervell Director.
